These guys are great!

@ferdonandebull Yeah , they paid me $2 an hour so I gave them $2 an hour worth of work. That's called a fair contract. They didn't seem to like that to much.. What do you expect when you work for Fascists attacking oil rich countries that never attacked us.

@ferdonandebull Ok, I the service I made $6,800 the 1st year. Do the math with all the time we worked and it came out to be about $2 an hour. My housing was 30 guys packed into a small room, a bunk bead + small locker. Medical care was sub par, and I was to busy working 12 to 20 hour days to take courses.There is something wrong when you are launching million dollar tomahawk missiles and getting paid $2 an hour. Somebody is hogging all the money, aren't they.

@flubno What this has to do with privatizing the military is to show that your premise is full of flaws. You make more than taco bell, You have rights, you have opportunities, You did not take advantage of them. Your angry rant is not about privatizing the military it is about a personal failure that you have projected onto the military. In a way if there is no draft everyone in the service is a private contractor that makes a deal with the government to perform. That is what a job is.

@flubno See that is the point. I was only in the military for four years also. You saw bullshit and I saw opportunity. Try to find a taco bell that pays your health insurance to the level the military does, Housing, rations, other benifites. I came out with two hundred college hours. I didn't sit in the barracks and drink. At two hundred dollars a credit hours in the civilian world that was $40,000 in education. You did not take advantage of your contract.

@ferdonandebull I'm not a victim. People who refuse to look at the reality of this world are, or will end up being the victims. I was only in the military for 4 years, ran away from that bullshit as soon as my enlistment was up. I could have made more money working at Taco Bell. The government didn't stick to it's contract with me. Again you take your point in a weird direction. Great if you carved a life out for yourself. What does that have to do with privatizing the military.

@flubno So what is your plan? I have had a ball with my life and found rewarding work full of challenges and a comfortable retirement. You are a victim because you have a victim mentality. I worked and was paid for my preparation and my efforts. The reason you do not make more money is because you have done nothing in your life to make your work worth anything..
-
@flubno My point is I found I had a shit pot full of rights. The government made a contract with me and they stuck by it. As far as wages,find a better entry level job out of high school with the benifits.I studies and since I was surrounded guys like you I made rank fast. Four years I had my college almost complete and went into the civilian work force and became one of the people at the top. Retired in my fifties with more income than you would believe.The service started my life.

@ferdonandebull You don't have a shit load of rights. The government owns you and pays you sweatshop wages. Other than that , I don't see the point you were trying to make. Name a job where you don't have a chain of command ? I guess none. But that doesn't mean you should just bend over and be a good little wage slave. You only have 1 life then you dead forever. Lets spend that life saturated in bullshit that only really benifits the people at the top. That sounds great.
...*ahem* You, um...spelled "military" wrong.
